2021 Virtual NSRP All Panel Meeting Celebrating 50 Years of the National Shipbuilding Research Program

During the week of 22-26 March, 2021 See current information here

Visit us at and NSRP.org 1 10th Annual Program News NSRP Day at NAVSEA

The National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) held its 10th annual NSRP Day at NAVSEA Virtually on November 19th. The event, a collaborative effort between NAVSEA and private industry, focuses on developing technologies and best practices to reduce the cost in the U.S. shipbuilding and repair industry.

The event began by an address from VADM William Galinis, Commander, Naval Sea Systems Command, followed by a welcome from Don Hamadyk, Director, Research & Development HII – Newport News Shipbuilding, Chair of NSRP Executive Control Board and Chair of SNAME Ship Production Committee, and a thank you from Erik Oller, NSRP Program Manager, NAVSEA 05TN.

From 1100 to 1400, project teams from 31 NSRP-awarded Panel Projects and 17 Research Announcement projects (full list on the next two pages) presented and discussed their recently-finished and ongoing projects to NSRP Day attendees. The projects covered a wide range of shipbuilding activities and information was shared amongst an audience of Navy and contractor personnel with a role or interest in shipbuilding and ship repair.

During breakout sessions, four RA project teams presented their progress and results to virtual attendees. Nearly 200 Navy personnel, NSRP projects team members, and extended team members attended virtually.

Projects presented at NSRP Day are listed on the next two pages, with links to available NSRP Day posters. 2 Panel Projects Presented Program News at NSRP Day
